From Edgar--and Agatha--Award nominee Shawn Thomas Odyssey.
This third Dark Street novel finds thirteen-year-old magician/detective Oona Crate gearing up for a series of highly difficult--and potentially lethal--magical battle tests. But when a break-in at the museum ends in the theft of a magical gem, Oona's attention is diverted as she attempts to discover who the thieves are before they can activate the gem's catastrophic powers.
